HOPECHEST (SOS #4) by Kailee Reese Samuels: Review

Hopechest (The SOS #4)Hopechest by Kailee Reese Samuels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

With each new book of the Juliet universe, I'm more and more impressed by Kailee Reese Samuels' talent. Hopechest reaches a whole new level of intricacy, the depth of the plot, and the connections between the characters utterly mesmerized me. I'm warning you, Kailee's universe is seriously addicting and even a little obsessing! Truths hide new lies and revelations only bring out more questions. KRS is brilliant, she plays with her readers' minds, chances are you won't know what's going to hit you until it's too late!


Add to that amazing sensation, endearing characters whose feelings, emotions, reactions are vibrant and painfully realistic. The more I read about them, the more I feel for them. Sal's loneliness seized my heart throughout the story. Although surrounded by friends, his need to be loved, to find love was heartbreaking. 

Stuck between his submission and his more and more pronounciated dominance, Sal blurred the boundaries; the sensuality and erotism in this book, the respect and empathy were raw and beautiful. Clearly, the new Sal, with all his scars and his new found maturity, is magnificent. 


Hopechest is a book I would have devoured but ended up savoring every word, every tear and every fun moment.

CONOR (BOSTON UNDERWORLD #6) by Ashleigh Zavarelli: Release Blitz & ARC Review

Conor (A Boston Underworld Novella)Conor by A. Zavarelli
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oh, did I miss that series! Conor is the sixth installment and it felt good to plunge back into the Boston Underworld.

Conor is the younger recruit od the syndiacte. Through flashbacks, we understand what his life was like and how he became involved with the Irish mafia.

Ivy is a newly hired sripteaser at Sláinte. Conor is in charge of finding out if/what she knows about the murder of Muerto, her boyfriend. 

Only, appearances are deceitful and there is so much more to the young woman than what the broody Conor at first thought.

So, in order to save her, he comes up with the most improbable proposition.


At turns surprising, swoon-worthy, gruesome, sexy and action packed, this book, but after all, the entire series was a real page-turner. 

The big hearted, overprotective alpha man that is Conor equally infuriated me and melted my heart. The tension between him and Ivy was palpable, both of them guarded and not ready to admit their feelings. 

Her fight and determination and his caveman manners promised difficult beginnings. Will their relationship survive the miscommunication and the mob lifestyle?


I recommend this book if you are in the mood for a romance between two scarred souls, a possessive and grouchy albeit sweet and caring man and a desperate to get her life back on track woman.

Enjoy!

COME TO DADDY by Brianna Hale: Cover Reveal

Title: Come to Daddy
Series: Love Don't Cost a Thing #1
Author: Brianna Hale
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 19, 2019
Rules for the New Sugar Baby 1. Are you worth it? Hell yes you are, ten times over
2. Hustle big, hustle hard and get out fast
3. Never, ever fall for your sugar daddy
I’ve always believed “I’m not that sort of girl,” but with my father’s debt to a bloodthirsty crime lord to pay off I have no choice but to dip into the sugar bowl.
Misha, a handsome older billionaire, is willing to pay top price for me. Something about my daddy doesn’t add up but with a debt to pay I don’t have the luxury of being picky. I’m the luxury in his life, his fantasy to fulfil, and I’m going to play my part to the fullest.
My name is Ciara, and when daddy calls, I come.
** Book one of the LOVE DON'T COST A THING series
“Ciara?” I reach down to help her off the floor. A moment later I feel her fingers tugging at my belt.
Oh.
Oh. That’s what she was asking about earlier when she blushed and just now when she trailed off. She wanted to know about sex. I’m such a fucking idiot sometimes. I never said anything and now she thinks she has to do this.
I grasp her forearms and lean forward. “Ciara. It’s all right. You don’t need to do that.”
Her mouth is very close to mine and she licks her lips. In the soft lights of the car they look plump and deep pink and my gaze becomes locked on them.
She’s so fucking beautiful.
I’ve thought about touching her ever since she sent me those pictures. I haven’t been able to get her out of my head, in fact. But they were abstract thoughts about sex that were never going to come to fruition. That could never come to fruition, because I’m not who she thinks I am.
Now she’s offering to give me exactly what I want and my brain is presenting me with reason after reason why I should have sex with her. It’s what she expects. Sex is implicit in our arrangement. It’s what she thinks I’m paying her for. She might get suspicious of my motives if I don’t take her to bed. I really, really want to taste her.
“Would you like me to? Be honest,” she whispers.
My hesitation tells her all she needs to know. Her fingers continue unthreading my belt. It clinks softly and loosens and I feel myself grow hard in anticipation of her touch. My hands caress her shoulders and her blonde curls glide against my knuckles. So soft. I push my fingers into her hair, caressing the back of her head, and she feels like heaven.
Ciara’s hand rubs me over my trousers and even that gentle touch makes me groan. She outlines my length with her forefinger and then traces the swollen head of my cock. I watch her, my breathing shallow, as she undoes the button and then slowly eases the zipper down. Her hand dives inside my underwear and pulls my cock out, hot and swollen in her cool fingers. A conceited part of me can’t help but admire how thick and long I look in her hands.
She licks her lips and I instinctively grasp the nape of her neck. Yes. Suck me. My gaze is locked on her face as her pink tongue slides across the broad head of my cock. Her hand caresses my length and she licks me again, wetting me thoroughly before taking me into her mouth. I feel the drag of her lips and then the lave of her tongue, and I groan and lay back against the leather seat.
Jezus Christus, how did you learn to do this?”
Ciara draws her tongue along my length with delicious slowness. “I’m a whore, remember?”
Anger rolls through me even as she slides me to the back of her throat. Has she been seeing other men? Aren’t I giving her enough money? She’s not a whore, not even when I’m paying her for this. I catch hold of her hair tightly and force her gaze up to mine. “Listen to me. You don’t see any other men but me.”
She nods quickly, her mouth still full of me.
“I’m your daddy. Are we clear?”
She nods again and I let her go, sinking back to enjoy what she’s doing. “Fucking good,” I growl, as she continues to work my cock. She’s heaven with that mouth. I look at the blush in her cheek, the way her lips slowly suck me, her eyes closed. From the way her tongue is caressing me I would almost think she was enjoying this.
Her hands slide up and over my belly and she makes a little noise in the back of her throat. Maybe she is. Maybe she likes blowing me.
I reach down between her legs and grasp her silken thigh. She catches my wrist and draws her mouth away from my cock. “Don’t,” she says in a broken whisper. As if she’s ashamed of something.
But I need to know. Suddenly it’s the most important thing about this. Not the money. Not my fucking brother. Not me pretending to be something I’m not. Her. She’s the most important thing. And I need to know if she’s wet.
“Baby. Let me feel.”
There’s nothing Brianna Hale likes more than a large, stern alpha male with a super-protective and caring streak, and when she’s not writing about them she can usually be found with a book, a cocktail, planning her next trip to a beautiful location or attending the theatre. She believes that pink and empowerment aren’t mutually exclusive, and everyday adventures are possible. Brianna lives in London.

Title: Conor (Boston Undercover)
Author: A. Zavarelli
Genre: Dark Romance
Release Date: December 27, 2018
Ivy
When I stumbled into a mafia run club seeking a job, I was looking for protection. Little did I know I’d need protection from him.
Conor O’ Callahan was exactly the kind of danger I was trying to avoid. He was gorgeous as sin with an accent hotter than Hades, but that’s where the charm ended.
He was also cynical, cold, and downright cranky.
So, you could imagine my surprise when he gave me a proposition. Marry him or lose my life.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. I’ve learned to do what’s necessary to survive in this world, and that includes marrying a mobster. Regardless of what he might say, it’s only temporary.
It’s not like I’m going to sleep with him. Or fall for him.
Because that would be stupid, right?

She is slightly obsessed with Theo James and funny animal memes. If you don’t mind these things, you should add her on facebook.

ROMA KING by Callie Hart: ARC Review

Roma KingRoma King by Callie Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What an intriguing, mysterious and electrifying story! I've been longing for Callie Hart's new series since the cover reveal of Røma King a few months back, and once more, she delivered a riveting read. A murder, disappearances, a Midnight Fair, hot dreams and phone calls.... welcome to Røma King's world. 


The atmosphere, cold, eerie never left me and piqued my interest from the beginning. That strange, almost frightening, sensation was new to me, it made me wonder what I was reading and how Pasha and Zara's worlds were going to connect. Or collide.

These two strong personalities clashed, really. They sent sparks flying when they met, they could have melted the floe when they kissed and the tension was downright blazing between the sheets. 

“Watching you react to me is a fucking gift. Pant for me. Moan for me. Scream for me. I want to hear every ounce of your pleasure, Zara. Do it. Do it for me.”


Zara is an independant and determined woman who works as an dispatch officer. However, her caring and empathetic traits might also be her weakness.

Pasha owns a tattoo shop. His Roma upbringing makes of him an intriguing hero. Truly it is difficult to define him in a few words, the man can be as charming and swoon-worthy as scary and trouble. His charisma is undeniable, though.

"See, this is what I’ve learned about my voice: it polarizes people."


The Roma culture, the esoteric references gave an interesting lighting to that story. Twisted and scorching hot, Roma King sent my mind in overdrive and swirling with the possibilities. I'm now dying to find out what Callie has in store for Pasha and Zara in Roma Queen!!! To be followed...

"But this puzzle? There’s no end to this puzzle’s complicated mess of frayed ends and ambiguous clues."

PERMISSION (PERVERSION #3) by T.M. Frazier: Release Blitz & Review

Permission (Perversion Trilogy, #3)Permission by T.M. Frazier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After the explosive ending of Possession, T.M. Frazier left us hanging and reeling. In other words, I couldn't wait to put my hands on Permission. 

"Ask forgiveness, not permission."


Starting off on the same frenzy than the two previous installments, Tricks and Grim's story brought lots of revelations, tension and twists. 

The conclusion of the Perversion Trilogy, is also, and certainly mainly emotionaly packed. 

Family ties and friendship predominate in swoon-worthy scenes and sweet moments. In that aspect the vibe of this book is very different from what I felt in the first books.

The characters evolved, or...not. Tricks truly is a force to reckon with, she shone this book. The badass heroine is back! I loved Grim's maturity, his ability to take the right decisions. 

"I’m your possession as much as you are mine. I belong to you. My love. My life. My honor. My loyalty. For always.”


Closure is the key word in this opus, I hope you'll enjoy the journey!

About the Author

T.M. (Tracey Marie) Frazier never dreamed that a single person would ever read a word she wrote when she published her first book. Now, she is a five-time USA Today bestselling author and her books have been translated into numerous languages and published all around the world. T.M. enjoys writing what she calls sexy‘wrongside of the tracks romance’ with morally corrupt anti-heroes and ballsy heroines. Her books have been described as raw, dark and gritty. Basically, what that means, is while some authors are great at describing a flower as it blooms, T.M. is better at describing it in the final stages of decay. She loves meeting her readers, but if you see her at an event please don’t pinch her because she's not ready to wake up from this amazing dream. T.M.Frazier.jpg

ABSOLUTION by Keri Lake: ARC Review

Wanted: An Outlaw AnthologyWanted: An Outlaw Anthology by Lane Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

☆☆☆Review of Absolution by Keri Lake☆☆☆
“I absolve you of your sins.”

Oh, my!!!! How it is possible to write such an intricate story, to built up the anticipation, to gave life to multidimensional characters and stir strong emotions in a novella is completely beyond me. But Keri Lake did it, mastered it, another proof of her incredible talent.


I found myself captivated from the first pages by the dark and gritty atmosphere of Absolution. The mystery and chilling revelation surrounding the first confession set up the tone, there will be no sugarcoating anything in this read.

Father Damon, broody and handsome priest hides secrets and a past which ledt him scarred.

Ivy, strong and feisty heroine is eaten away by guilt and threats. She made a pact with the evil to protect her Mamie but can barely contain all the stress and disgust induced by her situation. 

Both Ivy and Damon are tormented, I found them perfectly imperfect and all the more endearing for that. I loved their dynamics, Damon's darkness and Ivy's fierceness and determination. The taboo and heavenly sinful relationship, the sexual tension between Ivy and Damon were sizzling. 
“But your penance is my pleasure. And you have much to atone for.”

As the story unfolds the reader discovers the depth of the plot. Little by little, more elements and twists increased the suspense until all the pieces of the puzzle eventually click together. 

Absolution is definitely a book that will keep you enthralled and played with my nerves all along. 
Keri Lake built a world I would eagerly read more about Ivy and Damon, dare I hope for a second book?
“Only God forgives , Ivy.”

LIES (WEB OF SIN#2) by Aleatha Romig: Blog Tour & Review

Lies (Web of Sin, #2)Lies by Aleatha Romig
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh wow, this series is getting better and better, and that is saying something because the first book already blew my mind... but Lies? 

As Araneae gets more revelations, the web of Lies also tightens around her. She eventually learns more about her family and yet the well of intricate secrets seems bottomless. Aleatha Romig is a queen when it comes to writing amazing and suspenseful plots. Lies feels like a strategy game you would play blind. Who are your adversaries? Their end game? What are even the rules? The board itself would be evoluting with each move. Can you feel the hopelessness of the situation?
“There’s a lot I don’t know,” I went on . “What I do know for sure is that since I’ve met you, my world has gone crazy.”

Araneae must adapt to her new life at Sterling's home; intensity and fights will punctuate their days (and nights!). Between her feisty personnality and his domineering ways, the sparks are flying, for my greatest enjoyment! I absolutely loved their chemistry and their magnificence. 
"I won’t apologize for the reality of how it is because the payoff is worth it.”“Is it?” I asked. “Are you sure?”

Lies is a rollercoaster or a dance with highs and lows, acceleration and slower passages, abrupts twists and dizzying turns that will let you hanging over a dark precipice.  The question is: is Aleatha Romig going to let us free fall into madness in the next book, Promises? I can't wait to find out. 
"You like to push me? My smile grew. I’m going to push back."
